And, the next IMPORTANT question is how practically will the Palestinian dream be realized?

By solidarity with Hamas? I doubt that the morality driven left can stand that association unless Hamas CHANGES.

I consider myself on the morality-driven center-right, nevertheless I will evaluate Hamas' behavior AFTER Israel cleans up its misbehavior, i.e., charges of antisemitism will carry vastly more weight when there are no other far-more-obvious reasons for antipathy: THE COLONIES.

If Israel withdraws to 1967 borders and changes its national security strategy from attempts to 'bludgeon acceptance of humiliated defeat into Arab consciousness by any and all means possible' to genuine efforts to make reparations to its Palestinian victims, share regional water resources, engage in mutually profitable trade, etc, etc AND Arabs don't come around after twenty years or so, then we'll talk. Until then, it's the colonies, it's the colonies, it's the colonies, and attempts to claim it is something else, while possibly true, cannot be credibly made.

I think that most Americans, myself included, would be delighted to assist a transformation of Israel into a normal nation. However, private and official political, economic, and military subsidies to a rogue warmongering relict 19th century colonial state are an unnecessary national security threat to the United States, and real American patriots will work to sever all ties between our nation and Israel until it decides to pursue a different path.

We are in agreement.

But, I didn't see Hamas change. It CHOSE to re-escalate. I did see Israel restrain from military action for a week, pending Hamas heeding its warning that continued shelling would require a military response.

Maybe it will change now, maybe not. Maybe Israel will change now, maybe not.

Opposing "colonialism" and literally arbitrarily selecting Israel as an example of that for your only articulated dissent, is a stopper.

The rhetoric is noise. I'm sorry that you don't see that your use of the term "colonialism" is imprecise, inconsistently applied, and barely the sum of issues involved.

Israel is close to being a normal nation. One IMPORTANT element that hinders its transformation is the repeated shelling of civilians formerly by Hezbollah from Lebanon and currently by Hamas from Gaza.

ANY normal state in which its civilians are routinely shelled would be at war with its neighbors, and more vehemently than Israel. And, being at war is not by definition a normal state of affairs.

Zionism is a racist, supremacist ideology which values Jewish lives over others. In fact, it places next to no value at all on non-Jewish lives, aside from what they can do to help the Zionist cause. It also uses many of "its own" (i.e fellow Jews) to further Zionist supremacy and enrich and empower the few at the top.

PROPOSE, rather than only complain.
